Peanut Butter Conspiracy
By: Jimmy Buffett
1973
CG
Looking back at my hard luck days
FC
I really do have to laugh
CG
Working in a dive for twenty six dollars
FG
Spending it all on grass
FC
We were hungry hard luck heros
FG
Trying just to stay alive
FC
We'd go down to the corner drug
DG
This is how we'd survive

Chorus:
C
Who's going to steal the peanut butter?
FC
I'll get a can of sardines
C
Running up and down the aisle of the mini mart
FG
Sticking food in our jeans
FC
We never took more than we could eat
FG
There was plenty left on the rack
FC
We all swore if we ever got rich
GC
We would pay the mini mart back
FCFC
Yes sir! Yes sir!
GC
We would pay the mini mart back
It was a two man operation
Had it all down on a note
Ricky would watch that big round mirror
And I'd fill up my coat
Then we'd head for the checkout aisle
With a lemon and a bottle of beer
Into to the car, got to make it on home
Supper time's gettin' near
(Repeat chorus)
I guess every good picker has had some hard times
I sure had my share
It's really kind of funny to laugh at it now
But I don't want to go back there
So every now and then when I'm in the grocery
I take a little but not much
You never know when those hard times will hit you
And I don't want to lose my touch
(Repeat chorus)
